Join the contest SubscribeAs a start I just want the shooting community to stop buying products of OEM Chinese companies like those I listed in my post above. That'd be a great start to preventing the CCP from stealing the gun optics markets. Just because the CCP has stolen the consumer electronics market doesn't mean we shouldn't stop them from stealing our gun optics industry.Everybody wants everybody else to buy American, but they shop at Walmart.
Everybody wants everybody else to buy American, but they shop at Walmart.
One could argue gun stuff is the ONLY thing we should buy from them, if anything at all.The last time I had this conversation, the person basically said, "Gun stuff bad, other stuff...not so bad."
I blame Walmart and other greedy corporations as much as the consumer, maybe more, for China's rise. They've conditioned the American consumer to expect $20 sneakers, $100 TV's, $50 furniture, etc. All so the shareholders can get a few more bucks and the CEO can enjoy his $20 million a year salary.Everybody wants everybody else to buy American, but they shop at Walmart.
The last time I had this conversation, the so called patriots basically said, "The CCP already controls a bunch of our industries, so let them take more markets from us."
Also the last time I had this conversation, the so called patriots basically said, "Because we own many things made in China, it's wrong and bad to want to slow that trend, to alter the course, to even care".
I was going to buy a scope from Gratfuldoug then..The CCP is fighting a very effective cold war against us Americans and the rest of the free world- yet we still have supposed patriots in the gun community defending the purchase of gun related products from CCP/Chinese OEM optics and lights manufacturers like holosun, swampfox, olight, phenix, reportedly arken, and more... That's much worse than stuff just made in Chynuh.
Saving a few bucks essentially turns off the logic circuit with people like the above.
In the interest of spreading the word.I was going to buy a scope from Gratfuldoug then..
- Athlon Neos scopes – Made in China to Athlon specifications.
- Athlon Optics Talos and Talos BTR scopes – Made in China to Athlon specifications.
- Athlon Optics Argos BTR and Helos BTR scopes – Made in China to Athlon specifications.
- Athlon Midas BTR, Midas HMR, Midas TAC scopes – Also made in China to Athlon’s specific specifications.
- Athlon Ares BTR and Ares ETR scopes – Made in China as well to Athlon’s specifications.
- Athlon Cronus BTR scope – This model is currently Athlon’s top of the line scope and is made in Japan to Athlon specifications.
But he sells so much more than Athlon, buy a different product that aligns with your ideasI was going to buy a scope from Gratfuldoug then..

Japan=Good. (I know some of our older members may struggle with this one--no judgement on my side)
China = Bad (Aka ChiComs)
Tawain = Good. (Aka "Real China Government" FUCK YOU WINNE THE POO!)
They are like the Muslims, they religion comes first.30 years they've been at it.
If not longer. I used to try and be gracious and accepting of all people in the US. But basically Chinese: I assume they are a spy.
Counterpoint: Japan is a republic without the intent to destroy the US or bring world wide communism. Yeah I remember though.Not that long ago Japan was treated the same for exact same reason folks felt threatened that a foreign economy is taking over ,google FIRE economy
The enemy sits at Wall street , a financialised economy that enables lots of folks to get rich without producing anything of value and always needs a new hosts to extract wealth from ,China made them very rich , most of new billionaires are not Henry Fords actually making shit but folks from the financial industry as my old man would say skilled only at ''turning bread to shit' greatest skill seems to be proximity to FED print machine kinda like Nancy Pelosi Midas touch at investing.

Tbh the Japanese were the toughest foe we faced.Lol. Worked with a guy who refused to consider Toyota, Honda, Lexus etc because his father served in the Pacific during WWII. He drove Mecedes.
Respectfully, why do you say that? With their navy and air force destroyed we could have bottled them up and starved them. The bomb was just quicker.Tbh the Japanese were the toughest foe we faced.
They asked for no quarter
And we gave none.
Europe got the glory. I am the grandson of 2 pacific vets. There was no love for Japan in my family. I completely understand

As am I. SS Santa Fe. IWO, Rescue of Big Ben, ect... my pop would not ever buy anything Japanese, I don't care what it was or how much he needed it, he'd do without it.Tbh the Japanese were the toughest foe we faced.

It’s either the Japs or the Chicoms and I’d go with the Jap anytime.Tbh the Japanese were the toughest foe we faced.

Japanese have some innovation skills.They definitely build better cars...and just about anything they reverse engineer.

China not so much.
Ours have been beat out of industry.
We are really going to be at the mercy of some “Angel of Hadley”

That's the issue. Their Navy was better. They had a modern carrier force 2 years ahead of ours (Until it sunk) 2 years in, they knew they were losing and kept fighting (to the death) Their troops were beyond fanatical. And while Hitler was personally directing his generals, theirs adapted to our island hopping strategy. Their goal was to bleed us until we couldn't take it any more, which is how you defeat the US.Respectfully, why do you say that? With their navy and air force destroyed we could have bottled them up and starved them. The bomb was just quicker.
Germany was a stones throw from nukes and had rockets to deliver them......not on us at the time but if they hadnt been stopped it wouldnt have been long. Why did we beat the Russians in the space race? Because von Braun and the other top 200 German scientists defected to us ....
Also, you say Europe got all the glory, but do you know the most famous photo from the war? In fact one of ghe more well known photos of all time?Tbh the Japanese were the toughest foe we faced.

True, they were more fanatical, but as you said, they knew they couldnt win. Had we not gotten into the European theatre when we did, the Germans could have solidified Europe and bought thet ime to reduce all of Britan to rubble, while finishing the nukes and rockets. Then, they could have beaten us.That's the issue. Their Navy was better.

Soldiers that fight to the death Trump a LOT of technology. They just didn't surrender. Ever. They targeted medics, they kamikaze ships, anything to drag things on. they even got civilians committing suicide on Saipan because of the fear of surrender to america.
They got 2 nukes and still a faction revolted to prevent surrender.
Everybody wants everybody else to buy American, but they shop at Walmart.
You know Germany stupidly declared war on us….True, they were more fanatical, but as you said, they knew they couldnt win.

Communists, willing to sell you the rifle, scope and ammunition you're going to use to shoot them in the face. At discount prices!One could argue gun stuff is the ONLY thing we should buy from them, if anything at all.

Japan used to build better cars , at present looks like the Japanese overslept the whole electric trend and will likely loose market share in near future.They definitely build better cars...and just about anything they reverse engineer.
Bullshit…. They were nowhere closeRespectfully, why do you say that? With their navy and air force destroyed we could have bottled them up and starved them. The bomb was just quicker.

Who supplied the Russians? And who bombed the German industry day and night. Yea it wasn’t the Russians. They lost millions cuz foolish tactics. I’m not downplaying their contribution, it was huge. But all the allied forces played a partDid we beat the Germans the second time or only help the Russians finish the job?
Patton had a great idea but was ahead of the times with his thinking.
Until they wised up and took a lesson from the American companies, that they could make more money if they didn't.Japan used to build better cars
That's one of the common but absurd deflections/justifications. The fact is China will never invade us, so Americans will never have the chance to shoot them.Communists, willing to sell you the rifle, scope and ammunition you're going to use to shoot them in the face. At discount prices!
Yeah, well fuck the commies anyway. Send them all to Wyoming. @Bender needs something to distract him from those pigeons.That's one of the common but absurd deflections/justifications. The fact is China will never invade us, so Americans will never have the chance to shoot them.
Hope you are correct about this, Twit-video showing a long line of mostly young adult male PRC in line waiting too cross over.That's one of the common but absurd deflections/justifications. The fact is China will never invade us, so Americans will never have the chance to shoot them.
